It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Hickling and filled petrol in her diesel Smart rental car. The poor thing was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my mind!
